Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge<\/h1>\r\n

Bandhavgarh, a city in Madhya Pradesh’s Umaria district, gets its name from the Ramayana. <\/span><\/h5>\r\n

It is thought that the Hindu god Ram gave it to his brother Lakshman after they had defeated Lanka. The name Bandhavgarh approximately translates to “Brother’s Fort.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rated as #1 hotel in Bandhavgarh National Park, Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge’s history is inextricably entwined with the current fight for tiger conservation in India, which began in the 1960s when Shri Kailash Sankhala sounded the alarm about the terrible extent of tiger hunting that was threatening to exterminate this magnificent creature. Bandhavgarh is also home to an incredible variety of avifauna: over 200 of birds and over 80 varieties of butterflies. The lodge is built with 12 thatched, double-bed cottages around an interior courtyard.<\/span><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″ class=”image-conetent-block”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”left-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15534″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]\r\n

Why do we love Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge ?<\/h2>\r\nWe love Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge because it supports the activities of the Tiger Trust and is the base for numerous conservation documentaries. The emphasis is on sustainability in the campgrounds.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nStaff members at the resort are mostly from the nearby villages and have received years of training to advance up the ladder. To give a farm to table experience, the food is 100% locally sourced. Everyone at the resort is happy to talk about wildlife, the value of protecting the environment and how enthralling a wildlife adventure can be.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_meta_color=”false” padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1744870961962{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]\r\n

Comfort<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The architecture is based on traditional village-style dwellings and The Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge offers a total of 18 rooms, including 14 cottages and four rooms in a separate villa. The sloping baked-earth roofs, vibrant native furnishings, and tribal art are a tribute to this magnificent part of India's rich heritage.
\r\nThe architectural phrase \"bringing the outside, within\" fits this property nicely because all of the rooms have views of the sun-kissed gardens or the surrounding jungle. Warm and inviting furnishings, including hand-selected bedding, make the stay seem like home.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div> \r\n\t\t\t\t
